TOC Championship vs Riverside Poly
Valencia defeated Riverside Poly: score 11-3
In the championship game, Spigner gave up a homerun in the 2nd inning to Riverside Poly pitcher Kendall Gorham. Poly scored again in the top of the 3rd off a single from Karli Sandoval. Down 2-0 in the bottom of the 3rd, Valencia loaded the bases, sparked by a walk from Garza and back to back singles from Foglesong and Bernardino. Spigner dramatically belted a line drive off the upper right field fence, knocking in 2 to tie the game at 2 a-piece. Shipman followed with an RBI single to left center to give Valencia the lead. In the bottom of the 4th, with one out, Valencia had 3 back to back singles by Garza, Foglesong, and Bernardino, and RBIs coming from Bernardino and Moore. With the bases empty and the score 6-3, Poly proceeded to (mistakenly) intentionally walk Spigner, and Shipman answered that challenge with a 2-run homer, giving Valencia a comfortable 8-2 lead. Valencia further continued to rally with 2 outs and 3 more singles, including RBIs from Garza and Kemp, a single from Rooney, and a wild pitch that scored Boser to bring the score to 11-2. During the top of the 5th, Cori Reinhardt led off with a single and scored off a second single from Sandoval, who finished the contest 2/3 with 2 RBIs. Due to a tournament mercy rule, Valencia did not bat in the bottom of the 5th. Final score: 11-3.
